    it is usually permanent .

    you could cut out the bad bits in an area around the damage and tile it.

    Yeah, moisture will destroy a timber floor. You may well have to wave bye bye to it.:(

    I had a pipe leak and flood part of our hall, the wood cupped when it was wet, I managed to use a towel and remove all the standing water. After about 2 weeks the wood went back to it's original flatness.
    Solid red deal 19mm flooring.

    not sure about fixing this, or how mucht it might cost, but maybe you could make a claim on your home insurance to help offset the cost of fixing it?
